My dear Doctor:
I am more than glad to speak a word in commendation of your lecture to boys on the "Secret of Manhood." To me it is the most sane, safe and logical presentation of a much avoided subject that I have ever heard. The boys at the Lake Geneva Conference were strongly impressed without the undue excitement and morbid curiosity that so often accompany the presentation of the subject of "Personal Purity." And not only were the boys benefited, but all the fifty boy workers present, representing the entire Central West, had nothing but words of highest praise for the way you handled the subject before two hundred older boys.
I am glad that you are getting out material for a booklet on the "Secret of Manhood," and shall be pleased to see the manuscript. We are much in need of such a thing and believe the International Committee can aid you in getting it out if necessary. Yours cordially,
F.A. CROSBY,
Boys' Work Secy., International Committee. Y.M.C.A.
